Chapter 828 This is a master
"Oops... I really miss it. The last time we watched the game between Leeds City and North London Wanderers here was last season..." John Falkinghan, standing in the North Stand, said with emotion.
Levin said next to him: "Ah, I still remember that we prepared banners to welcome Barnet..."
John smiled: "Fortunately you didn't display the banner at that time, otherwise it would have become the dark history of the 'White Rose'!"
After David Miller heard the conversation between the two people nearby, his face looked a little unhappy: "What are you two talking about about the past?"
"So David, how are we going to 'welcome' Barnett in this game?" John asked.
"Greetings to him and his mother, of course!" David Miller waved his fist.
Levin next to him suddenly cursed: "Fuck!"
Attracting the attention of others: "What's wrong, Levin?"
"Barnett is not in the Rangers' starting lineup!" Levine raised his phone.
"Fuck!!!" a group of fans yelled in unison.

Sean Barnett sat on the bench, looking out onto the field.
His teammates are fighting against Leeds City.
It's a real "fight".
This game was very intense. Leeds City, playing at home, certainly attacked fiercely from the beginning of the game.
The North London Wanderers were unable to escape and tried their best to prevent Leeds City from attacking.
The defense was even a bit "tragic".
You can often see people falling on their backs on the court.
In order to prevent Leeds City from scoring, North London Wanderers went all out and paid a heavy price.
Half an hour has passed since the start of the game. Two North London Wanderers players have received yellow cards, and many players have been verbally warned by the referee.
The game was cut into pieces as a result.
The players of the two teams fought hand-to-hand with each other. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were "fighting".
Although the game is not good to watch, the effect is definitely good - so far, Leeds City, playing at home, has still failed to score a goal.
The score is still 0:0.
But Sean Barnett is not happy with the team's current performance.
On the contrary, he was thinking about what it would take for head coach Ludwig Aumann to let him come on as a substitute.
Before this game, he was full of enthusiasm and wanted to prove his ability by scoring goals at Leeds City's home court in response to the insults and attacks on him from Leeds City fans on the Internet.
After that game in the first half of the season, his relationship with Leeds City fans was completely over.
In the past few months, Leeds City fans have always scolded him on his social media account. He has also angrily scolded those Leeds City fans back and made news for it.
For this reason, the North London Wanderers Club not only fined him, but also warned him not to continue to do things on social networks that damage the reputation of the club.
Yes, as a North London Wanderers player, he quarrels with Leeds City fans online, which will eventually affect the reputation of the North London Wanderers club.
But even if it weren't for the club's warning, Sean Barnett should indeed reduce his quarrels with fans on social networks, because it greatly affects his mood and state.
Today his performance at North London Wanderers is far worse than before. Otherwise, why wouldn't he be in the starting lineup in this game?
This is certainly not because head coach Ludwig Aumann is worried that Sean Barnett will have an impetuous mentality in this game, resulting in poor performance.
You must know that it is not just this game, he has not started in eight consecutive league rounds.
His condition was really bad during this period, so he held back his energy and wanted to prove himself again in this game.
Not only did he want to prove to coach Aumann that he had returned to form, but he also wanted to score goals to retaliate against the Leeds City fans who cursed him.
Barnett, who was sitting on the bench, thought deeply and finally felt that maybe only if Leeds City scored and temporarily took the lead, maybe coach Aumann would give him a chance to play...
After all, he is a forward. If the North London Wanderers take the lead, the head coach will definitely choose to switch to a defender and strengthen the defense in order to maintain the victory. Then he will have nothing to do.
Only when the team is behind and needs a goal to equalize the score or take the lead can he, as a striker, be useful.
Thinking of this, he mentally cheered up his old club.
Comeon! Leeds City!
Come on, Hu! Aren't you good at scoring goals? Then you should score a fucking goal for me!
Isn’t it true that after failing to score in three consecutive league games, you have forgotten the feeling of scoring?

"Rolin Menaye fouled Hu again. This time the referee still did not show a yellow card. This caused dissatisfaction among the Leeds City fans. Listen to the boos in the stands!" Cox closed his mouth after saying this. , allowing the huge boos at the scene to be transmitted to the audience in front of the TV through the television broadcast signal.
It can be clearly heard that the entire Flanders Stadium is now filled with boos.
The sound in the north stand was particularly prominent. In addition to boos, there were also various swear words and curses.
But in fact, there is not much problem with the referee's penalty scale. The Premier League is known for its fierce physical confrontation. Secondly, the experienced Welsh international Menaye also pays attention to the scale of his movements when committing fouls. There is no particularly violent foul. Sometimes he just pulls and pushes hard, and his attitude is quite correct after the foul, so until Now the referee has not given him a card.
Moreover, not all the North London Wanderers' fouls were concentrated on Menaye alone, and Menaye did not foul Hulay continuously in a short period of time.
Therefore, the referee did not give a card, but only gave Menaye a verbal warning.
The latter also raised his hands and nodded to show his compliance.
"Although Leeds City has not scored a goal so far, I am really moved by this scene..." Cox continued after a pause. "Because just last season, when these two teams met, few people believed that North London Wanderers would be so embarrassed when facing Leeds City. They actually chose to put a bus in the penalty area and press the crowd. The style of play plus foul tactics... only one season has passed, but the two teams have undergone such earth-shaking changes. This is also true from the league rankings. North London Wanderers are currently ranked eighth, and Leeds City is second..."

Kamara was rushing left and right on the wing. His jersey was stained with grass clippings and stained with the color of soil. It was obvious that he also received heavy attention from the North London Rangers defenders during the game.
The North London Wanderers were obviously well prepared this time, and made targeted deployments against several of Leeds City's main attacking players from the beginning of the game.
As for Kamara, it is natural to strictly guard against him, compress his space to get the ball, and try not to let him increase his speed. Foul when it's time to foul, and you're absolutely welcome - the two yellow cards for North London Wanderers were all contributed by him.
Although two of the opponent's players were punished, he himself was made impatient by this almost barbaric defense and did not perform well.
Despite this, when he got the ball on the wing, he still put the football into the penalty area after a fake move and cut inside!
In the penalty area, North London Wanderers right back Ireland international Conor Hayes stretched his foot to poke the ball away, but Kamara took the lead and drove the football to the baseline.
He missed the kick!
Then he heard a scream from Kamala next to him, and he fell forward and fell to the ground.
He quickly raised his hands and turned to look at the referee.
The whistle sounded, but the referee's hand did not point to the penalty spot... Hayes was relieved - at least it was definitely not a penalty kick!
Since it’s not a penalty kick, it’s very simple...
"He dived!" Hayes shouted, pointing at Kamara who fell next to him.
Sure enough, the referee ran over, motioned with his hook to Kamara who was lying on the ground, and at the same time took out the yellow card from his breast pocket...
"Ah, the referee is going to show Kamara a yellow card because he dived..."
There were boos in the stands - of course, the boos were not for Kamara, but for the referee who made the penalty. Leeds City fans thought Hayes had kicked Kamara down, so the goal should have been a penalty.
Even if a penalty kick is not given, Kamara will not be given a yellow card!
Kamara got up from the ground in shock after being shown a yellow card, and continued to explain to the referee: "He really kicked me, I swear, he really..."
"Kamara seemed aggrieved, but judging from the slow-motion replay, Hayes did not touch him..." Cox said relentlessly. "Kamara is a player with very good skills at his feet, so he will always be taken care of by defensive players. But I still have to say, don't fall down easily in the penalty area. Young man, your skills should not be Use it on this!”
It was clear from the slow-motion replay that Hayes seemed to have predicted what Kamara would do, so he didn't complete the action of stretching his foot to poke the ball, and obviously stopped his foot.
Kamara, on the other hand, made an obvious move to stretch his legs forward to find Hayes' feet, but because Hayes retracted his feet in time, he failed to touch the opponent and fell to the ground.
To be honest, watching the slow-motion replay was a bit embarrassing.
Because Kamara obviously faked a penalty kick by diving.
No doubt about it.
Kamara didn't seem to know this, and wanted to chase the referee to protest. He was aggrieved, with a hint of anger in his grievance, as if he was very dissatisfied with the referee's misunderstanding.
However, he was stopped by Hu Lai, who covered his mouth and whispered in Kamala's ear: "Okay, Ismail. Acting skills are not used in places like this. You are so fake, it's so fake at first sight." .”
"Is it really fake, Hu?" Kamala frowned.
"It's really fake." Hu Lai gave him an affirmative answer. "So don't go to the referee. Be careful if he gets pissed off by you and gives you another yellow card. Then you can go back to the locker room and take a shower in advance."
Hearing what Hu Lai said, Kamara immediately calmed down. He didn't want to really be sent off.
※※※
The game continued, and Kamara's unsuccessful penalty kick was just an episode in the game.
Not long after, Leeds City made a comeback, this time with Charlie Potter passing the ball into the penalty area from the right.
Under the cover of captain Lorenzo, Hu Lai suddenly moved forward from the back point and went around in front of Lorenzo, trying to grab the point.
The North London Rangers center back Menaye who followed him was blocked by Lorenzo and could only make a slight detour, which caused him to be briefly thrown away by Hulay. In desperation, he jumped directly to Hu Lai!
Although Hulay hit the football, under the collision of Menaye, the football flew directly out of the bottom line...
Hu Lai himself fell to the ground like a sack.
The whistle sounded again.
Amid huge boos, the referee decisively pointed his finger at the penalty spot this time!
